Knotnutz

ME? Cut lace??? Oh no - sharp objects and I do not do well together! Prefer to buy my lace precut - that white came from Lonsdale Leather in Vancouver BC - and he brought it in from Birdsall Leather in Oz. I've barely got the hang of bevelling - and that is a simple 'set screw, set razor blade, insert leather and pull' operation!

OH WOW!

Stunning work - makes a girl almost want to own a gun so I could try to buy one!

Ok - now that I've confessed to being here, I guess I should post a pic or two. First - 8 strand braid in white, with a silver ferrule and two turquoise Spanish Ring knots. Second one - black 4 strand braid, clusters of beads held in place with terminal knots and a 4 x 9 knot with an interweave on the handle. Comments?

I outed myself a couple of days ago (lightbox discussion) and have been lurking & reading ever since (and before). I make braided leashes for showdogs, using Kangaroo lace and beading. I've not got the room or the talent or patience to cut my own lace (frankly, the concept scares the bejayzus out of me) so I buy lace from various people. I'm also 'into' knotting - as I find the whole concept of taking one piece of leather, bending it over, under and around itself and making something beautiful, absolutely fascinating. I will probably lurk a whole lot, as I don't consider myself much of an expert on anything, but if I can contribute, I will. If you are interested in seeing pics of my work, I'll post a couple of scans over the next day or two. *** "Fame is a vapor, popularity is an accident, money takes wings, those who cheer you today may curse you tomorrow.

I've not introd'ed myself yet, but, here is a great lightbox setup - and even less expensive than the one noted earlier. http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=281524
